OrCAD datasheets

OrCAD CIS 2 database, thereby eliminating manual data entry and guesswork. It solves a critical problem for your engineering teams by quickly and easily selecting the best component available, based on both the technical AND business parameters critical for success. With easy access to corporate component databases and part information, OrCAD CIS streamlines the part research, selection, and verification process. The parts you need in the design can be queried based on their electrical, physical, or corporate characteristics, allowing you to identify, utilize, and design with preferred components, which can then be automatically retrieved for use in the schematic. Adding components directly from company databases minimizes errors in bills of materials (BOMs) and parts lists, and allows you to control part usage for industry directives such as RoHS and WEEE. OrCAD CIS Features Database query and component placement With OrCAD CIS, you can explore, query, and filter database components according to specific criteria that may be critical to your project goals (such as value, cost, availability, etc.) to identify the exact component needed. Search results can also be pre-approved, such as "qualified" parts based on company criteria to drive preferred part into product designs. Once you have identified the correct part, it can be placed directly into your schematic design from the database search results. OrCAD CIS will automatically transfer all of the associated component properties, eliminating hand-typing of part properties. Databases OrCAD CIS works with any database that is compliant with Microsoft's ODBC standard to directly access your company component data in corporate MRP, ERP, or PLM systems, or in a local, intermediate database dedicated to engineering component data. OrCAD CIS also allows for the creation and use of relational tables in the component parts database. These relational tables have a one-to-many relationship with the part information (primary) tables. The relational database may contain a vendor table with multiple vendor/manufacture part numbers for a single company part number in the electrical (e.g., resistor) table. With this structure, search and query for data across the primary and relational tables provides more intelligent, refined results. New part introduction and tracking As you create new parts during the design process, you can keep track of them through the OrCAD CIS part-approval system. New parts can easily be created by duplicating and editing an existing record in the component database, and automatic alerts be issued when a temporary part is assigned a corporate part number and promoted to preferred or approved status. Verification Ensuring component data integrity throughout the design process is critical to project success. It is a key capability of OrCAD CIS through the validation of component properties against a corporate database. A simple property change, such as the value of a resistor, can result in a mismatch between the schematic part and the part information in the database. The impact of this mismatch could be significant if the wrong part is ordered since the part number and corresponding value will not match. OrCAD CIS displays colored indicators to identify parts with unresolved problems as well as which properties are out of sync with the database. If the value of placed part's property is green, then it matches the value of the property for the database part. If the value of placed part's property is red, then the value does not match that of the database part. Component Management Solutions and Flows Variants With the design variants capability, included as part of OrCAD CIS, you can manage unlimited board assembly variations without having to maintain duplicate schematics or manually edit individual BOMs. This capability reduces the number of files by maintaining all design-assembly variations within a single design and outputs. On the schematic canvas, substi- tuted and/or unplaced components within each assembly are displayed through graphical indicators for easy reference.
